Maganda pala mag graduation speaker sa public elementary and secondary schools sa Pangasinan si Vice President Sara Duterte, namimigay ng android phone to each of the 54 graduates of Tococ Primary School in San Fabian and P1,000 each to the 1,092 graduates of the Mangaldan National High School (MNHS) - the biggest secondary school in Region -1.

| Vice President Sara Duterte graced the graduation rite of the Mangaldan National High School in Pangasinan (the biggest secondary school in Region-1) as commencement speaker last July 12, 2023. She is seen on the photos here with the top brass of the Department of Education, Mangaldan Mayor Bona Fe Parayno and department heads and some local lawmakers, Police Regional and Provincial commands lead by Brig. Gen. John Chua and Col. Jeff Fanged, Criminal Investigation and Detection Group Regional Chief Noel Espinoza and the grateful 1, 092 senior high school student graduates of the town where each of them was a recipient of the P1,000 given by the Vice President. |
In the middle of her speech at the rainy afternoon that soaked the graduates who were sitting on the open court, she posed in her Cebuano accented Tagalog:
"Magkano ang lechon manok dito?"
The students and parents - where many of them are near the poverty threshold of the country - brightened up, cheered endlessly and shouted:
THREE HUNDRED ( PESOS)!
"Unsa? Veep Inday Sara asked "WHAT" vigorously in Cebuano
"THREE HUNDRED PESOS," they roared with excitement.
"O sige, meron kayo kada isa na tig P1,000 pag akyat niyo dito sa stage," she told them about the unexpected manna.
She apologized to them that she could not give a mobile phone unlike those graduates who were the earlier recipients in the nearby San Fabian.
"Pasensiya na kayo kakaunti lang kasi sila kaya tag isang libo na lang kayo".
Even the more or less 300 teachers of the MNHS were told that each of them would receive the blue crisp bill with composite portraits of Jose Abad Santos, Josefa Llanes Escoda and Vicente Lim - not those photos of the three guys on TVJ on Channel 5 TV as described by other writers (then that Philippines currency would be a counterfiet, hahaha!)
P1,092,000.00 SANS THE 54 ANDROID PHONES
Sanamagan! That"s how much in the more than a million pesos for the early Christmas in the 2028 Presidential Election? I asked myself
1,092 indebted high school students plus 300 wide eyed teachers multiply by P1,000 equal to a staggering P1,392,000!
Where did VP Sara get this lots of money?
Since the time of her immediate predecessor Vice President Leni Robredo, the VP Office since time immemorial has not seen a budget of
P530 million — P30 million of which will be with Inday Sara concurrent capacity as the Education Secretary — in confidential funds this year after the Congress passed the P5.3-trillion national spending program for this year.
FEAR OF COUP OR BBM JUST INDEBTED WITH SARA?
The pretty German mestisa got this mammoth dough probably because President Bongbong Marcos got cold chills that the VP's Dad was the Darling of the military and the cops after he gave them the biggest spike on their monthly pay during his six years stint as Prexy.
What cold chills?
It's the cold chills where Daddy Digong Duterte could call his Generals who call the cavalry and launch a putsch to the nascent BBM Administration.
Or was it because the grateful President Marcos wanted to spoil Inday because she sacrificed her presidential ambition last year by running instead in tandem with him thus the latter won the top elected post in the Pinoyland?
You can speculate my dear Readers.
